The second smallest prime number is 3

What are prime numbers:

⇒ numbers that are divisible only by itself and '1'

⇒thus they are numbers that have exactly two factors, itself and one

The first prime number is 2, not 1, because 1 doesn't have two factors. Thus, the second prime number is 3.

Hope that helps!
